A very happy...and merry Christmas to you all...
Butterfly Christmas tree, Christmas trees and altar decoration photos all taken at the Lanercost Priory Christmas Tree Festival 2008 .....Click here and here (Joan Thirlaway) and here (David Taylor) and finally here (Roger Clegg) for some superlative photos of Hadrian's Wall country and Northumberland throughout the seasons.
And to finish...the Romans celebrated Saturnalia at this time so...
omnia felicia et fausta (tibi sint)
(May you have) everything lucky and auspicious.....
Happy Christmas to you too, see you in 2009!

Happy Christmas and I did so enjoy the photos!
ReplyDeleteMerry Saturnalia to you and yours, Hadriana. May 2009 come and bring an end to all your worries.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Greetings to Hadriana and family from the Troy family. Hope many of your dreams come true in 2009. (I was going to say "all your dreams" but that would make 2010 an anti-climax wouldn't it?).
ReplyDeleteHave a good Christmas Hadriana and family!

Bit late but happy new year. If I was going out tonight by choice I'd love to see the barrel burning? in Allantown. Stayed in the square there twice in our little motorhome.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Christmas, and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Thank you all for all your wonderful comments. I'll be visiting your sites soon once life returns, sort of, back to normal.
ReplyDeleteThanking you: VLiF, LWM, AC, FS, GOK, BM, SJA...sorry I have not commented personally but am feeling a bit below par on the blogging front. Will make it up to you all in the weeks to come :)
